Transport & Supply Chain

Using logistics to adapt to change and build an edge.

If your operations involve moving products, then Transportation Rationalization — smart distribution and simplified logistics — is essential. The greater your dependence on transport for staying ahead, the more critical optimization becomes.

  • Motion isn’t the same as progress

    Ernest Hemingway

Freight expenses are rising steadily as outsourcing expands across North America and Europe. With growing supply chain activity from China, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond, shipping is accounting for a larger share of total costs. This shift can put your profit margins and strategic edge at risk due to variable freight rates, duties, handling complications, and a multitude of additional charges. By proactively managing these cost drivers, you can overhaul your logistics strategy and secure a stronger market position with lean, effective transportation solutions.

LVP partners with companies to navigate the global transport market — conducting interviews, negotiations, and carrier selections across all modes: from fleet and rail leasing to full truckload, LTL, ocean freight, barge, and 3PL outsourcing. If owning a fleet is the right move, we’ll support that too. Our approach uses data to create a fair playing field and uncover the best-fit solution.

Cracking the logistics code that drives profitability

Do 30 nationwide warehouses serve you, or slow you down? With access to thousands of suppliers and a vast array of components, LVP has the expertise to streamline your logistics footprint. Once we help you consolidate your supply base, we collaborate on building a tailored inbound strategy — guided by warehouse location analysis and transport mode evaluations. That’s how 30 warehouses become 9 — improving both efficiency and profitability without interrupting distribution.

From Ocean Freight and Intermodal to Rail, Full Truckload, LTL, and Small Parcel, our clients typically save 25% on transportation expenses.

LVP's deep experience and structured methodology unlock savings at every level — from immediate transactional discounts to sustainable operational improvements that continue yielding results over time. By leaning into data analytics and real-time market insights, we optimize load plans, vehicle turnaround times, shipping schedules, and communication — all aimed at ensuring consistent, on-time deliveries.

Tracking an industry that never stands still

Through a disciplined approach and by pushing client needs into the global arena, we uncover affordable, high-performing providers — including rising innovators that might otherwise be missed. Working hand-in-hand with our international sourcing teams, we deliver agile transportation and sourcing solutions that fit each business precisely. The payoff? Reduced short- and long-term costs, operational enhancements, and a sharpened competitive advantage for every client we serve.
